To determine the direction in which Hawaii's chain of islands is moving, we can look at the map and analyze the location of the islands. In this case, the islands are shown in a sequence from bottom right to upper left.
Based on the map description you have provided, Hawaii is located at the bottom right corner of the map, while Kauai is situated at the upper left corner. Since the islands are described as moving from Hawaii towards Kauai, we can infer that the movement is in a northwest direction. Therefore, the correct answer is "Northwest."
